WEZQ (92.9 FM; "The Ticket") is a radio station broadcasting a sports radio format. Licensed to Bangor, Maine, USA, the station serves the Bangor area. The station is currently owned by Townsquare Media and features programming from ESPN Radio.[1] The station features local talk, ESPN Radio, and Boston Bruins and New England Patriots games.[2]
History
The station went on the air June 9, 1976, as WPBC, a beautiful music station owned by Penobscot Broadcasting.[3] It became WSHZ in 1992, after the station evolved to a soft adult contemporary format.[4] In October 1993, WSHZ was purchased by Dudman Communications, owner of WDEA and WWMJ in Ellsworth;[5] that December, the station changed its call sign to WEZQ,[6] though the "Soft Hits 92.9" branding used as WSHZ[5] was retained for several years after becoming WEZQ.[7] Dudman sold its stations to Cumulus Media in 1998.[8] In later years, WEZQ carried Delilah[9] and The Bob and Sheri Show.
On July 31, 2012, Cumulus swapped 55 stations, including WEZQ, to Townsquare Media in exchange for Townsquare's stations in Bloomington and Peoria, Illinois.[10] On January 1, 2013, Townsquare relaunched the station with a sports format as "92.9 The Ticket".[2]
